Field Stations

Research field stations are as close to the heart of the college's research mission as the most sophisticated molecular biology laboratory. Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve, one of the best-known sites in ecology research, is home to natural habitats representing the entire state. Research at Cedar Creek focuses on understanding the fundamental processes and principles that govern the dynamics and functioning of communities and ecosystems. Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories, with its undisturbed coniferous forest, eastern deciduous forest and tall grass prairie ecosystems, is a pristine living laboratory. Itasca has long attracted students, educators and researchers interested in learning about and investigating how ecosystems work.
